No prep games this week doesn’t mean no work for the three Lancaster County football teams who are bound for the playoffs which open Nov. 13 for Class AA and AAA teams.
Lancaster, Buford and Indian Land will be competing in the postseason tournament and all three began work this week in preparation for first-round games a week from Friday.
Lancaster, 8-2 and the runner-up in Region III-AAA, will be at home for first-round play as the Bruins will face 6-4 Wren High School of Piedmont, the third-place team out of Region II-AAA.

Region IV-AA champion Buford High School posted its second straight sweep to advance to third-round play in the Class AA Upper State volleyball playoffs Monday, Nov. 2.
BHS prevailed, 25-22, 25-20 and 25-22.
In game three, Buford fell behind early 11-4 and Liberty extended its lead to 19-9 on the Lady Jackets.
BHS senior Gabby Davis served eight straight points to give Buford a 21-20 lead on the way to cap the sweep.
In game two, Buford opened with a 4-0 lead, but Liberty rallied to forge a 12-5 edge on BHS.

Buford got back in the win column with a 28-21 win over Carolina Pride of Charlotte, N.C., on Friday, Oct. 30.

The win halted a two-game skid and gave Buford a 6-4 overall record on the season. Carolina Pride, a faith-based team of home school and private school players, battled the Yellow Jackets in Buford’s final game of the regular season.

Buford’s defense, a big part of the Jacket’s successful season, stood tall again.

Lancaster County will have its share of representation at the 68th annual North-South All-Star football game in Myrtle Beach on Dec. 12.
